Hi, Robins! This next one is a variation on one we did years ago, about Signs. The
Challenge for Saturday, July 12th is

Show us one or more photographs of something that contains both words and pictures. It can be a book cover, an autographed picture, a poster, a sign, the box some new purchase came in or whatever. It doesn't have to be the whole thing, as long as it contains at least one word and at least one photo, painting, drawing, cartoon, sketch or other kind of picture. In fact, it's better if your photo either shows your subject in its larger context (e.g. a sign and the building it's on) or a detail within the overall subject (e.g. a small part of a larger map).

Here are the guidelines:

1. Grab your camera or go through your files, and bring us at least one
picture of something with both words and pictures on it.

2. RSVP in the comments below with your name and the name and URL of the place you plan to post your photos.

3. On the Challenge date, Saturday, Saturday, July 12th, post the results on
any blog, social media site or online photo album. Don't forget to link
back to here in your entry, so your readers can check out the other
Robins' contributions.

4. Please visit the other Robins' entries, and comment if so moved. The
list of entries will be posted at the bottom of this entry starting
around midnight MST on the Challenge date, and updated through the day.

Hi, Robins! This next one is a variation on one we've done before, but with more leeway to get creative with it. The
Challenge for Saturday, June 28th is

Wild things, and even semi-wild creatures, have their own ways of doing things. Sometimes we're lucky enough to photograph them doing it! Wild plants, too, have particular ways of growing. Closer to home, we often find our beloved dogs and cats echoing the behavior of their wild ancestors. Even some people are known for their wild ways, doing things other people would never attempt. So here is your Challenge: show us the wild ways of any living thing.

Here are the guidelines:

1. Grab your camera or go through your files, and bring us at least one picture of wild ways - something wild or semi-wild doing its wild thing.

2. RSVP in the comments below with your name and the name and URL of the place you plan to post your photos.

3. On the Challenge date, Saturday, June 28th, 2014, post the results on
any blog, social media site or online photo album. Don't forget to link
back to here in your entry, so your readers can check out the other
Robins' contributions.

list of entries will be posted at the bottom of this entry starting
around midnight MST on the Challenge date, and updated through the day.

Hi, Robins! Here's a pretty straightforward topic, inspired by my total failure to take a good photo from my driveway early this evening. The Challenge for Saturday, June 14th is

Sunrise, Sunset

Who doesn't love a sunset photo? Show us one or more of your best sunset shots, old or new. But ALSO show us a sunrise photo! Can the best sunrise pictures ever top the sunset ones? You tell me - or better yet, show me!

Here are the guidelines:

1. Grab your camera or go through your files, and bring us at least one sunset photo, plus at least one sunrise - not necessarily in that order.

2. RSVP in the comments below with your name and the name and URL of the place you plan to post your photos.

3. On the Challenge date, Saturday, June 14th, 2014, post the results on
any blog, social media site or online photo album. Don't forget to link
back to here in your entry, so your readers can check out the other
Robins' contributions.
